THE FRUIT INTERESTS.
The horticultural Society Discusses an
Important Subject.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29th.-[Special. /
The State Horticultural Society met in
Irving Hall this afternoon in monthly ses-
sion. Professor E. Hilgard, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture of the State Univer
sity at Berkeley, presiding. B. NJ. LeLong,
Secretary of the Board, described at length
the process of fruit shipment practiced in
the southern counties, and detailed the
character of the improved interior arrange
ments of fruit cara and system of dry
storage.
\ general discussion followed. during
which it was suggested that one of the de-
siderata for Central California is the cold,
dry-storage system.
Dr. Kimball, of Haywards, described q
storage process recently successfully intro
duced ut ST. Louis. He believed that
cherries, peaches, apricots and grapes may
be picked practically ripe and laid down
to customers in the East by this process in
the finest possible condition, and at a very
reasonable rate.
After remarks from ex-Judge Black
wood of Alameda, Senator Buck of Vaca-
vile, and A T. Hatch of Suisun, the regu-
lar subject for the meetings. discussion
Is there danger OF over-supply of the
fruits of California ?" was announced, and
Judge Blackwood arose in support
of the proposition. He had contended for
years that in this State there is imminent
danger of over-production. The question
resolves itself into one of economy, and
depends largely upon our ability to handle
the product. There is no question but that
California is on the eve of great over-pro-
duction. Yet this State is capable, with
her soil and climate, extensive and favora-
BILE as they are, of producing ten times this
vast product. if we only had outlet and
means at hand of carrying the crops away
In reply, A. d. Hatch agreed with much
of the matter advanced, but he further
contended that those who have at all times
endeavored to do their best toward increas-
ing the supply and their own acreage, and
have stood by their farms and orchards
through good and bad seasons, have in the
end succeeded. Over-production in Cali
fornia is possible, but not probable He
hoped to see the day when there will be
twice and even four times more fruit raised
in this State than there is to-day. Over
production is always of bad products.
The discussion was then resolved into a
very general one on apricot, prune and raisin
culture, after which the Society adjourned.

boot and shoe trade, with increasing or

kinds of leather, and the prices for the new

CHARMING Tricycle. RIDERs.-Two very
pretty and stylish-looking young ladies'
have been making a decided sensation on
the avenue by their dexterous riding of the
tricycle.. Both are remarkably pretty and
wear handsome street costumes. One of
them wears gentleman's high silk hat,
the only difference being that it is turned
ND on one side and has little black feather
in it. Her cloth dress fits her trim figure
exquisitely, and on her wee, pretty foot she
wears long boot like q backwoodsman.
The top of her boot hides her pretty ankle,
but the convenience obviates many of the
objections raised to ladies riding tricyces.
Her companion wears Tam O'Shanter
cap. which falls prettily about her head.
Both the high silk hat and the Tam
O'Shanter are kept on the ladies' heads by
long, fiat pins, and they go flying up the
avenue without fear of losing their head
gear. They each own a single tricycle.,
and use these in the morning. but in the
evening, when the avenue is crowded, they
ride double tricycle.. and cause many of
the Congressmen's hearts, and Senator'S,
too, by the way, to go pit-a-pat in unison

Mayor late this afternoon issued proclA-
nation calling on all good citizens to re-
main at home tonight and avoid all gather
ings. adding that he would do all in his
power to preserve good order. etc. While

LYNCH THE NEGRO FIENDs.
The law had again and again failed to
punish murderers. If this crime was not
atoned for, the chances would be missed to
set terrible example to the hundreds OF
idle, worthless and thieving negroes who
infested the alleys and slums of the CITY,"
The doctor was eheered frequently. The
meeting afterwards adjourned to a hall
near by, where the names of about 100
citizens who, it was believed, would join
an organized effort to lynch the negroes,
were selected. Other speeches were made,
and it was determined to meet at 10 o'clock
tomorrow at the Courthouse
THE MOB WITHOUT A LEADER.
Despite the Mayors proclamation, all
the squares about the Jail tonight are
densely packed with men. Beyond keep
ing them about half block back, no efforts
have been made to disperse them. On
Market street about 100 men are march
ing up and down, each with a piece of
rope tied to his arm. The mob appears so
far to have no leader. and seem to be watch
ing TOR something to turn up. The police
and militia are determined to defend the
jail, and if an attempt is made in the night
ortin the morning, there will be bloodshed.

Tucson. April 29th-Deputy Sheriff
Shaw, of this county. and Deputy U. S.
Marshal Smith, of Yuma, out after the
train-robbers, reached here this evening
with their trailers. having trailed the rob-
bers to within the vicinity of town. The
robbers appears 10 have been FIVE in num-
ber, some of whom wore moccasins. They
had gone in wagon to within about three
miles of where they took the train, and
had gone into camp, cooked their supper
and then moved to within q mile of the
railroad. Here the wagon was left in
deep gulch, and they went on
foot to the train. After rob5ing the train,
and when on the engine, they appear to
have run the engine considerable distance
past where they had intended getting off
as they had walked back portion of the
distance almost parallel with the track be-
fore branching off towards the wagon. On
reaching the wagon they kept the travelled
road across the country until they reached
the Tongue Verde road, when they headed
straight for Tucson, which they in all
probability reached before daylight on the
morning after the robbery. Two COM
panies of soldiers from Fort Lowell were
also out, but could do nothing further. An
effort to work out the trail will be made to-
morrow.

Exciting Bull Fight Witnessed by the
Elite of the CAPITAL

Cry OF MEXICO, April 29th.-The nov
city of bull fight by electric light drew an
immense crowd to the Colon Plaza. Among
the spectators were President Diaz and
several members of his Cabinet. The
arena was brilliantly lighted by ten electric
lights, and the gaudy uniforms of the maIa-
dors fairly blazed. The door OF the bull
pen was thrown open and the first bull
made frantic rush at the picadors, and in
q minute was master of the arena, having
killed one horse and gored two others.
One matador and picador were laid out.
though not killed. The fighters became
very timid and piled their swords from the
side. being afraid to face the animal, as is
usual. OF the five bulls every one was des-
perate in the blazing light, and horses and
fighters were rolled over and tossed in a
terrible manner. One swordsman attempt
ed to kill a bull as he charged, and was
caught on the beasts horns and tossed out
of the arena almost lifeless.
The result of the fight was four horses
killed and several torn and crippled. Two
matadors were nearly killed, and several
picadors were disabled. The dazzling light
seemed to make the animals wild. This
was the first time bull-fghting had been
tried by electric lighting.

New YORK, April 29th.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly ReUisw Of Trade says the inter-
state law is doubtless charged with much
interruption of business that does not be-
long to il. But during the past week evil
dences have multiplied of its harmful
effects. BY convincing proof that Boston's
export trade would be destroyed if the Gus
tomary rebates and favoring rates were
refused, the Commission was led to virtually
suspend the operation of the fourth section
for the benefit of Boston roads. The Pacific
railroads obtained an exemption, and re-
duced their rates. In the session at Atlanta
the Commission was informed of many
projected enterprises, contracts for which
had been suspended until the question of
rates could be settled. One contract for
10000 tons of paving at Marlboro. n. H,

three times as much as the expected profit
